Rupit — where time slows down…
Medieval streets, 16th-century stone houses, and that iconic hanging bridge welcoming you like a portal to the past
Fewer than 300 people live here, but the atmosphere feels bigger than any city
A Catalan fairytale just a couple of hours from Barcelona 🌿🏰

Can you guess which Spanish city this is? 👀
Tucked away in northern Catalonia, this charming city feels like a little jewellery box of history. Think cobbled medieval lanes, centuries-old walls you can walk along, and grand Gothic churches tucked between quiet squares. Colourful houses line a river that runs through the centre, their reflections shimmering in the water and separating the historic old town from the livelier modern side of the city.
If you’re a fan of Game of Thrones, you might also recognise a few corners of this place — several scenes were filmed here for King’s Landing and Braavos.

🚆 How to get there
Take a Renfe or AVE train from Barcelona — the journey takes about 40 minutes.
While it’s possible as a day trip, staying one night in Girona is worth it if you want to slow down and really soak up the atmosphere.
